Is it true that Cipro is the one and only broad spectrum/general antibiotic magic bullet left in infection control?
Is there much in the antibiotic development pipeline?
The last I remember reading several years ago was that the product development pipeline is anywhere from 7-10 years long and there wasn't much in the way of promise coming thru(antibiotic r&d gap).
I know down here on the civvie side there's been a major shift in recent years to protect antibiotic efficacy. When our kids were born starting 10'years ago, antibiotics were dished out like candy to placate worried parents.
Not anymore thankfully.
